Abstract
Several methods such as the direct heating pulse (intermittent) method, the high-temperature differential-scanning method with triple cells, the laser autoclave technique and the high-speed cooling method are described for the heat capacity measurement of both metallic and ceramic materials at high temperatures above 1300K. The principles, instrumentations, recent developments and some experimental results of the two new dynamic techniques at ultra high temperatures above 2000K i.e. the laser autoclave technique and the high-speed cooling method are mainly discussed in detail.
